Dragon Lights Festival

More Info

Dragon Lights, Knoxville’s first-ever Chinese lantern festival, will take place at Chilhowee Park and Exposition Center from March 15 – April 22, 2018 and will be open every night from 5:30pm until 10:00pm.
Featuring over 40 larger-than-life lantern displays, Dragon Lights is the largest Chinese lantern festival in the Eastern Unites States. Thousands of sculptural and light components make this event a true visual treat. Dozens of Chinese artisans travel the world to keep this century-old tradition alive, and they will be constructing the displays on site at Chilhowee as the festival draws near.
Dragon Lights also will feature performances by Chinese acrobats and Chinese folk art demonstrations, as well as children's activities.
